Narrative:
Aircraft X was leveled at 070 for traffic; aircraft Y at 080. Aircraft X reported aircraft Y in sight; once they past; on diverging courses I climbed aircraft X. I was told that [the] traffic analysis and review program (tarp) said I had a wake turbulence remnant of 4.9miles and 900 feet. If we have to separate for remnants we need to have a way to display them on our scope. I would have to wait longer to climb.
